Liverpool have secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League as Group E winners courtesy of a ruthless 7-0 thrashing of Spartak Moscow at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo finished the Champions League group stage in style on Wednesday as he set a new record in the competition.

The four-time Ballon d’Or winner has now scored in all six group games in the 2017-18 campaign – the first to do so since 1992-93 when the tournament introduced the group stage.
